Am I understanding you correctly, "6 lbs a piece of sorghum and rice..." as in 12 lbs plus the candi sugar? Was this for a 5 gallon batch? If so, that's gonna be a pretty strong brew (somewhere around 1.090 OG and ultimately around 8.8% ABV?). Rock on...

The D-180 definitely adds a bunch of complex flavors. I like the idea of adding coffee or espresso, but I've never done it so I'm not sure how it would work out. I do have a non-GF DIPA in the secondary sitting on 3oz of Hungarian oak cubes soaked for two weeks in 8oz of Jack Daniels; that one...

You could try some variation of Hop Bursted Pale Ale here. It is an all rice syrup recipe (as in no surghum) which is a little unusual, but it uses buckwheat honey as an additional fermentable and contains no candi syrup.

This has been one of my favorite batches so far; hope you enjoy it. As for the cloudiness, it should clear considerably in the secondary. Also, I always throw 1tsp of Irish Moss in the last 15 minutes of the boil.

:mug:You are the first person to catch the Psych reference (Dual Spires). And of course the "Black Lodge" was a nod to the original Twin Peaks series...

My recipe is for 5 gall and I assume Matt's is too. And absolutely, my next batch will be a black IPA based on this recipe.

Sorry for the slow response; 5 Star thread and recipe here.

Well... this started off as a version of mloster's "Hop Bursted pale Ale". I thought I would add some invert sugar (bump up the gravity) and add some blackstrap molasses (add a little flavor and color). I also decided to sub Cascade for the Centennial (had a bunch of Cascade in the freezer)...

Well... I don't know yet. I've been ignoring it. It spent 2 weeks in the primary and now 2 weeks in the secondary; gonna bottle it this weekend. I have however, changed my batch's name from Hop Bursted Pale Ale to "Bag Bursted Brown Ale"... I was using two 3lb bags (bag in a box) of rice...

Honesty I'm not sure where the molasses stops and the D-180 starts, but the sweetness and overall flavor with the hops is nice, without being too rich.

Ultimately, not much; it's omission likely wouldn't have made much of a difference... It did bring ABV up from 5.1 to 5.4 and brought IBUs down from 36 to 34.

This beer has turned out very well. Gave a 4-pak to a non-GF beer loving friend and he really enjoyed it. He said it was hoppier than he expected but he really liked it. Not sure what I would change... The hops used were mostly a result of what I had on hand, but I think they worked out well...

Okay friends, I am "fiending" to brew a batch of beer today... Below is my take on mloster's HBPA. I am concerned that without any sorghum, it will turn out like my blonde ale, which while tasty, has the body of a can of sprite or a glass of champagne, very light with lots of bubbles but no...

Hard to say. I will say that in terms of a GF IPA, the 5 Star IPA came out much better, and there were no late sorghum additions. Also, the Black Lodge Ale tastes very good (Guiness-ish), and for that batch I pretty much just dumped in everything at the start of the (45min) boil. I know some...

How it turned out... It's been gone for a while now but let me try to sum it up. This was only my second ever batch of homebrew and the first batch was a kit, so I think I definitely bit off more than I could chew: 1) It did not taste like a Dogfish Head 60 min 2) While it was quite...

Yes, it was D-45.

At 7%ABV you must have "bumped" something up. Care to share your version of the recipe?

This was another of my experiments with Cascade hops. I bottled it on 7/17/12 after 2 weeks primary, and 1 in secondary. With a twist of lime, this beer tastes like a Corona (a yummy bohemian Corona with 5.5ABV and 32IBU). Even my "non-beer drinking" wife likes it (nice). With a 30 minute...

So, after a month of conditioning, I put a PartyPig of this IPA in the fridge this weekend. The taste and the beer overall has really matured. While I am very experienced in the drinking of beer, I am not so experienced in the describing of beer, but here goes... There is no sorghum twang...

Bottled this last night after 2 weeks in the primary and a week in the secondary. The final partially filled bottle was so good I drank it warm and flat... This could turn out to be a very good beer; more to come. Pretty easy; only did a 45 minute boil: Time - Additions 45min - 3lb...
